Finding James Jones is the story of a gifted boys journey through life, from his neglected, unloved and lonely childhood, growing up in rural hardship, to the young man of distinction, he has become.
It is also, and more importantly, the story of his conscious awakening, his slow but sure realization the repressively imbalanced social, political, religious and cultural realities of Victorian England, function to constrain and limit the lives of boys like him to endless poverty. His is not a life ordained by God, however God is defined, but is the work of men of rank and status who are deeply invested in their limitless ambitions to wealth and power to the exclusion of all others no matter how worthy they are.
It is, a story grounded in the philosophy of consciousness that insists consciousness is all that reality is and the material world is an illusion of our making. A view modern philosophy and science are only now beginning to grapple with, and with it the simple but profoundly shattering truth consciousness is fundamental to our Being and our Existence and is not derivative of it.
An idea that allows there are other dimensions of time, space and reality not apparent to us, other consciousnesses and other realities in which other metaphysical entities exist and where all time is now.
Finding James Jones is a ghost story but a very different kind of ghost story and an extraordinary, if complicated love story, told as a reminiscence and a meditation on life and what it means to be alive and to exist in the world. It is a story that begins and ends one August morning in 1882. A time of somber reflection for James as he contemplates his past and the day to come, a day of disappointment, reunion, revelation and revenge long in the making.
Revelation because it also solves a mystery that has consumed his life since the Spring of 1880 and an encounter with a young and beautiful woman that changed his life forever. That left him wondering what love is, having good reason to doubt its meaning.
